FUNERAL URNS · AFTER CREMATION

Funeral urns — classic and decorative

The funeral urn is the container that holds the ashes resulting from cremation. The choice depends on where the urn will be placed (columbarium, grave, home, or scattered in nature) and on preferred style. We offer a complete range — classic wood or metal urns (from 200 RON, included in Cremation package), premium decorative urns (up to 2,000 RON), and biodegradable eco-urns (for scattering in nature or burial).

Urn types

  • Classic — simple shape (pitcher or box), neutral color, standard materials. Included in Cremation package.
  • Decorative — elaborate design, decorated with religious or personal motifs
  • Premium — rare materials (mahogany, bronze, artistic ceramic), for elaborate cases
  • Eco — biodegradable (natural wood, compressed salt, recycled paper) — for scattering or burial
  • For children — reduced dimensions, delicate design
  • Dual — for two (spouses), two niches in single container

Materials used

  • Wood — most common (pine, poplar, oak). Warm, natural, accessible.
  • Metal (steel, bronze) — durable, elegant, for outdoor columbarium
  • Ceramic — artistic, fragile, for indoor keeping (home or indoor columbarium)
  • Marble — massive, durable, for elaborate cases
  • Biodegradable — for scattering in nature (dissolves in water or earth)
  • Glass — modern option, transparent or colored

Urn personalization

  • Inscribed with name, birth date, death date
  • Add short epitaph or religious quote
  • Apply photo (similar to photo-ceramic on monuments)
  • Religious symbols (Orthodox cross, Catholic cross, Buddhist symbol, etc.)
  • Customized colors for ceramic or metal urns
  • Separate plaque with family message

Where the urn is placed

Columbarium — special wall at crematorium or cemetery, with individual niches. Niche costs 3,000-8,000 RON, urn is inserted with externally-inscribed plaque. Concession is 7-15 years. Full details on cemetery concessions and columbarium.

Grave (burial plot) — urn is buried in existing or new plot, similar to traditional burial but with shallower depth. Concession cost is similar (10,000-30,000 RON for a new plot).

Home — Government Decision (HG) 741/2016 (Art. 40) regulates depositing the urn at the crematorium/cemetery or burial; keeping the urn at home isn't prohibited by law, but it also isn't mentioned separately as a regulated option. After cremation, the crematorium hands the urn to the family, and many families choose to keep it at home, in a suitable place (shelf, cabinet, personal altar).

Scattering in nature — there is no dedicated national rule on scattering ashes. If you're considering this option, check local rules and get consent from whoever owns the land or water in question, especially on private property.

FREQUENT QUESTIONS

What families ask about funeral urns

  • How big is a funeral urn?

    For an adult, 2-3 liter capacity (25-35 cm height). For a child, 0.5-1.5 liter (15-25 cm height). For dual urn (for spouses), 5-6 liter capacity. Shape may be cylindrical (classic), square (modern), or customized.

  • Can I go through an airport with the urn?

    Yes, with documentation. You need the cremation certificate and a document confirming the urn's contents. We recommend carrying it as cabin luggage (X-ray controlled). For international flights, call the airline in advance to check specific restrictions. Our guide on bringing a loved one home covers the urn route vs. sealed casket in detail.

  • Can I scatter the ashes from the urn in nature?

    Romanian law has no dedicated rule on scattering ashes in nature. Government Decision (HG) 741/2016, Article 40, regulates only the placement of the urn: in the crematorium's or cemetery's designated spaces, by burial at a minimum depth of 0.5 m, or by placing it in a grave or vault. If you're considering scattering, check local rules (town hall, protected-area administration where relevant) and get consent from whoever owns the land or water — especially on private property. See our guide on cremation vs. burial for the other options after cremation.

  • How durable is an urn long-term?

    For wood urns — 30-50 years in indoor columbarium, less outdoors (humidity risk). For metal — 100+ years. For ceramic — 50-100 years in controlled environment. For biodegradable — 1-5 years (intentionally dissolves quickly).

  • Can I have the urn at home without legal issues?

    After cremation, the crematorium hands the urn to the family. Government Decision (HG) 741/2016, Article 40, regulates depositing the urn in the crematorium's or cemetery's designated spaces, burial at a minimum depth of 0.5 m, or placing it in a grave or vault — these are the options the law explicitly provides for. The law does not prohibit keeping the urn at home, but it doesn't mention it separately as a regulated option either. Many families choose this option anyway, for emotional closeness. If you're unsure, check with a lawyer or your local cemetery administration. Memorials (40 days, 6 months, 1 year) can be held at home or at church, per habit.

  • Does the urn cost extra or is it included in the package?

    The classic urn is INCLUDED in the Cremation package (covers standard wood or simple metal). For decorative, premium, or eco urns, there are additional costs — usually +200-1,500 RON over the included urn. We present the catalog at the first meeting for choosing.
